You probably cannot do this without any hope.

I'm not sure. On one hand, you can lose life and limb fighting tyranny for no reason, which really sucks. On the other hand, I think it does something to your soul when you just lay down and accept tyranny without a fight. It makes you more likely to be a victim in the future. And I think fighting against tyranny, even when it's hopeless, establishes that there is still resistance to tyranny in general which would be a deterrent of some level to future would-be tyrants.

Should? No.

That can be a noble thing. Under the right conditions, the world can be changed. But so many have been summarily expensed, disposed of, and forgotten. In some cases, the end of their suffering would have come via forces independent of their actions.

There is always hope. Starving peasants with torches and pitchforks can do it.

Ofc.. Never underestimate the power of martyrdom. Those Tiananmen Square protesters have made the Chinese government the subject of international condemnation.

You can do it on principle and I'll commend you for it, but I can't blame you if you wanna just go about your life and try n stay alive

Together we are strong.
